Ex-NFLer Steve Christie has come out of retirement to kick for the Argonauts tonight against Hamilton. He answered a few questions for the Star's Doug Smith:

Q: What was the first significant field goal you made?

A: Oh, probably the first field goal I made for Oakville Trafalgar High School because . . . one of the linemen turned around and said, `That's the first one I've ever seen go through in a game.' That was significant for me. It was 1983 or '84.

Q: Which of your made field goals stands out?

A: Obviously the kick against Houston in the comeback game (for Buffalo, a 41-38 overtime playoff win in 1993). It was only 32 yards, but in the ebb and flow of that game, was unparalleled.

Q: Who plays you in the movie of your life?

A: Well, my girls say Matthew McConaughey but he's got more hair than I do, so I don't know.

Q: What's your favourite food?

A: Indian curries, I love spicy foods.

Q: Who was your favourite athlete growing up?

A: Darryl Sittler. He was a great (Leafs) captain and did some amazing things out there. It's been a real pleasure to meet him along the way.

Q: Do you have any regrets?

A: I think the only regret that I have is that I didn't stick with soccer longer. I didn't know obviously that the NFL was going to turn out like it did but, again, I love the sport and if I had stuck with it longer, who knows.
